By "180 watt brick" do you mean a TMCC PowerMaster?? The PowerMaster would replace my TW transformer?? Sounds great to use the TW to power the accessories - lights, buildings, remote switches, etc.
I am not familiar with how a PowerMaster works, does it provide power by direct connection to the tubular track, like my TW transformer did?? I suspect I will need to keep my lock-ons to provide power distribution around my layout - correct??
The Legacy CAB-1L / BASE-1L Set is more than adequate for my needs, I may only have 1 or possibly 2 trains running. Actually, the TMCC seems to meet my needs; the full Legacy 990 set having capabilities of running up to 99 locomotives is "over kill" - mine is a basic layout. Besides, the full Legacy 990 set is expensive, I would rather spend the money on more accessories and/or rolling stock.
I just want remote control of my current train and switches, and later, if I purchase a TMCC/Legacy locomotive, i want to enjoy the features and better train sounds
